The atmosphere at home has been very bad recently.
Xia You Yuanluo hid in his room. His mother's hysterical roaring and crying came from the living room outside. His father seemed to have moved his hands. Xia You Yuanluo heard a loud sound that was obviously a slap in the face.
As for the person who was beaten - there was no doubt that it was his brother, Xia Youjie.
This is why Xia Youyuanluo said that the atmosphere at home has been very bad recently.
Xia Youjie had a quarrel with his parents, a very violent one.
As the second child in the family, Xia Youyuanluo is two years younger than Xia Youjie. The relationship between the two is not bad. On the contrary, they are definitely the kind of rare brothers who have a harmonious relationship.
After all, which brother and sister didn't fight and fight when they were young, but Xia Youjie was born with a gentle personality and could be said to be tolerant. Xia Youyuan Luo Ze seems to be missing a root meridian and has very large nerves.
With such a combination, the two were called brothers and brothers, and there was no dispute.
The quarrel between his parents and his brother was so fierce. The reason why Xia Youyuanluo didn't go out to help was because he had already helped many times and was beaten several times by the gang, so he learned a bloody lesson.
——When parents teach your brother a lesson, don’t get involved casually, as it will divert their attention to yourself.
Although he shared the firepower with his brother, it also made his parents even more angry.
"What a sin have I done to give birth to you two just to make me angry!"
"Okay, okay, you also think your brother is right, don't you?"
"You and your brother are a family, and your father and I are your enemies, right?"
Xia Youyuanluo: "..."
Very good, he closed the microphone.
Xia Youjie also said that his younger brother had better not get involved in this matter anymore. He understood that his younger brother meant well, but if his younger brother got involved, it would be like throwing in a bundle of firewood, making the anger burn even more intensely.
Why is there such a loud noise...
Xia Youyuanluo lay on the bed, staring blankly at the blue painted ceiling.
——It’s not about my brother’s school.
Xia Youjie's grades are very good, and he is among the top honors students in the class and the whole school.
Not long ago, Xia Youjie's graduation results came out, and he lived up to expectations and achieved very good scores. His parents happily praised and rewarded him, and then they concentrated on discussing which school should be applied to.
Rakuzan and Hyotei are good, as are Shiratorizawa and Teidan.
Xia Youjie ate in silence without making a comment, and the happy atmosphere at home dropped to freezing point on the sixth day.
——An acceptance letter was sent to the mailbox at home.
That day, Xia You and his wife went home and found a letter in the mailbox outside their home. They asked each other and found that no one had sent it to them. Who was it addressed to?
Xia You and his wife took out the letter with doubts. The envelope was engraved with the words "Admission Notice to Tokyo College of Magic".
The couple was stunned and thought it was a prank.
After all, this kind of spell or vocational college seems very informal.
But it is undeniable that they are anxious.
Because of his eldest son's attitude recently, and every time they asked which school they wanted to apply to, his eldest son was unusually silent.
The couple opened the letter with trembling hands. Inside was Xia Youjie's personal information, the catalog of the school he applied for, and a card for successful admission.
The two of them felt a bolt from the blue. Xiayou's mother's feet went weak. If her husband hadn't helped her, she would have collapsed on the ground on the spot.
Xia Youjie came back very late that day. His body was a little messy and dusty. There was also a wound on his chin. It looked like he had been fighting with someone.
Turning on the light in the living room and seeing his parents sitting on the sofa, Xia Youjie subconsciously called out "Mom, Dad." Then his eyes fell on the notice on the table. Xia Youjie opened his mouth, knowing that the paper could not cover the fire after all, and what was supposed to come would come.
"Jie, please explain clearly." He heard his mother's trembling voice, "Did you sign up for an unknown school behind our back?"
That day, Xia Youyuanluo was frightened by a scream and dropped his earphones to the ground. He thought something had happened and ran out of the room in panic. He saw his parents and brother in a tense atmosphere.
"What happened?" Xia Youyuanluo asked confusedly, holding slippers in his hand. He thought some bad guy had broken into the house.
"Go back to your room!" my father yelled.
...
Closing his eyes, Xia Youyuanluo sighed deeply.
He probably knew the reason why Xia Youjie signed up for that magic school - his brother was different from them, and different from most ordinary people.
My brother is a person with strange talents and super powers.
Although his brother has been hiding it from him, Xia Youyuanluo is not without eyes, nor is he an idiot. They were so close and lived together, how could they not notice anything unusual about their brother.
For example, my brother always makes strange movements in places where no one is clearly around, and always comes back injured, and he also talks in places where no one is around.
All of the above sounded more like mental problems, but Xia Youyuanluo understood that his brother could only see things that ordinary people could not see, such as ghosts and ghosts.
Xia Youyuanluo once tested Xia Youjie.
One time when the two of them went home together from school, the elder brother's expression suddenly changed and he excused himself with a lame excuse.
Xia Youyuanluo calmly said okay.
Not long after, Xia Youjie, who seemed to have rolled around on the ground several times, came back in a panic.
"Are you going to fight, brother?"
"Uh... um, right." Xia Youjie said vaguely, his eyes wandering.
Xia Youyuanluo was silent for a moment and said unbearably: "Brother, can you see things that we ordinary people can't?"
Xia Youyuanluo's move was no longer a test, it was a simple and crude straight shot.
Then, as expected, Xia Youjie denied it. It could be seen that he was very nervous. Xia Youyuanluo was unwilling to push him when he saw this, and he never mentioned similar words again after that. At the same time, Xia Youjie gradually became more and more at ease, rarely showing off his skills.
- They are brothers, conceived in the same womb.
Xia Youyuan Luo knows Xia Youjie too well.
Xia Youjie went out frequently a few months ago and had contact with people. It didn't take long for Xia Youyuanluo to find out.
After all, if he hadn't been secretly covering up at home, Xia Youjie's abnormality would have been discovered by his parents long ago.
But of course parents will not think like Xia Youyuanluo that their eldest son can see things that they cannot see. Eighty-nine times out of ten, they suspect that there is something wrong with their eldest son's brain and that he is not mentally right.
In order for such a future to not happen, Xia Youyuanluo was heartbroken.
But after all, this matter can't be hidden for long.
Because my brother has already made up his mind. He is going to another world, a world that ordinary people cannot enter.
"Go away! If you must go to that school, don't come back!"
"boom!"
The sound of the door being slammed shut.
Not long after, there was the sound of a vehicle starting from downstairs outside the window.
Xia Youyuanluo sat up from the bed, walked to the window, and saw his car driving away.
Apparently, the parents were heartbroken and temporarily ran away from home.
Xia You Yuanluo turned around, opened the door and walked out, went downstairs, and saw Xia Youjie squatting on the ground picking up the torn notice.
He didn't say anything, walked to Xia Youjie and squatted down, silently helping Xia Youjie pick up the pieces.
"...I'm sorry." Xia Youjie whispered.
"It's nothing." Xia Youyuanluo said, "But does my brother have to go to that world?"
Xia Youjie paused and smiled bitterly, "You know that."
Xia Youyuanluo is very smart and his grades are no worse than Xia Youjie.
Xia Youjie has known since he was a child that his younger brother is not only smart, but also has keen intuition.
I'm afraid Yuan Luo already knew that he could see the cursed spirit, yes...that's right. Didn't Yuan Luo ask directly? I just didn’t know that thing was called a curse spirit, so I used words like ghosts and ghosts instead.
And he only learned that those monsters were called cursed spirits not long ago.
"Brother, if you want to go, just go. I'm at home." Yuan Luo picked up the last piece of fragments, slightly folded his palm upwards, and handed it to Xia Youjie.
"Go, brother." He said again, his brown-red eyes so bright that they seemed to be covered with a layer of fire, turning pure red.
"I support you."
*
After that day, Xia Youjie packed up the luggage he and Yuan Luo packed together, and disappeared into the deep night.
The next morning, Xia You and his wife returned home.
Yuan Luo has been sitting on the sofa waiting for them.
Seeing them coming back, he informed Xia Youjie of his choice.
"Brother went to school to report."
*
Xia Youyuanluo and Xia Youjie are still in contact, and they chat almost every day.
But Xia You and his wife and Xia Youjie were on the verge of breaking up, and both parties stopped contacting each other.
Xia Youyuanluo saw this and would bring up Xia Youjie's current situation when everyone was having dinner together every few days.
The father was silent, and the mother said angrily with red eyes not to mention that person. Xia Youjie was no longer a member of their family.
But the second time Xia You Yuanluo mentioned it, he always listened to Xia You Yuanluo and told him not to talk about Xia Youjie anymore.
Alas, this family would have to break up without him.
No matter what, life has to go on.
Xia Youyuanluo is used to being the lubricant in the middle.
The attitude of parents is also softening day by day.
Finally, in the second month, his father gave Xia Youyuanluo the packed lunch box with a stiff face and asked him to deliver it to that bastard who didn't know whether he died outside or didn't know whether he was going home.
——Isn’t this great?
Xia Youyuanluo lowered his head and chuckled, took a taxi with his lunch box and sent it to the gate of Xia Youjie's school.
But speaking of which, although this magic college is also in Tokyo, it is quite far from the city center and is considered a suburb. After all, the school is so big that it can only be accommodated in the outer suburbs.
Yuan Luo thought as he looked up at the endless stone steps in front of the school gate.
Xia Youjie trotted out of school after receiving the news from his younger brother.
"Are mom and dad okay?" he asked.
"It's much better. Maybe you will be able to reconcile soon."
Xia Youjie didn't reply, but smiled, picked up the lunch box and said "thank you".
"Brother, we are family." Yuan Luo said with a smile, a smile shining in his cat's eyes, "If you have time, come home and see us."
"......good."
*
"What happened?"
"Xia Youjun jumped out of the window!"
"Xia Youjun, who jumped out of the window in a whimper, is so handsome (sucks)"
It all started a few minutes ago, during recess.
Xia Youyuanluo's classroom is on the first floor.
As soon as the teacher left the classroom holding the lesson plan, the students started chatting enthusiastically.
Xia Youyuanluo didn't have many friends. Although he had good grades and was handsome, his personality was too cold, and he was full of polite alienation towards people and things. In addition, he had the aura of being a top student, so his classmates gradually respected him. She regarded him as a cold and aloof male god and rarely got close to him.
Xia Youyuan Luo was also happy to be at ease.
It's not that he doesn't like socializing, or he hates socializing, he's just... tired.
——That’s too far.
When Xia Youyuanluo was about to change the textbook for the next class, he seemed to see a dark shadow out of the corner of his eye.
Subconsciously, Xia Youyuanluo turned around and met a pair of bulging eyeballs.
It was a huge creature that looked like a chameleon. It was lying on the window, its huge body blocking the sunlight and making the classroom dark.
Xia Youyuanluo encountered such an abnormal creature.
The huge protruding eyeball, which was half the size of Xia Youyuanluo's body, turned around and locked onto Xia Youyuanluo.
At this moment, Xia Youyuanluo felt a strong sense of crisis, and the hair on his back stood up.
Then as he expected: the chameleon spit out its long fleshy tongue, shattered the glass instantly, and came towards him.
Xia Youyuanluo's conditioned reflex suddenly squatted to the side, and at the same time he understood that he was being targeted by a monster! With his brain running rapidly, Xia Youyuanluo observed the reactions of his classmates and found that they did not feel anything was wrong. Some people muttered, "Why is the glass broken? The quality is not good."
Is this invisible?
Xia You Yuanluo thought of Xia Youjie. Although he didn't know what happened to him, he could suddenly see the world that his brother could see, but this situation should not involve others.
So without thinking, Xia Youyuanluo found the farthest window and climbed out.
